So you are an adult with scoliosis. How old are you, how long have you had scoliosis, and why do you want it "fixed"?
Good evening. Yes, scoliosis surgery can help adults, too. However, this should only be undertaken by a skilled and well-trained orthopedic surgeon who specializes in this type of surgery. Also, do you want the surgery because of how you look, how you feel, or how you (do not) function? If it is only for looks, then I would not do it. If you struggle with pain and loss of function (including respiratory function), then after trying PT and injections, surgery can be a viable option. I hope this helps.
